<div><strong>Specifications for a 1990 CRX Si<br />
</strong>By Anjus Chiedozie</div>
<div><a rel="attachment wp-att-144" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/specifications-for-a-1990-crx-si/crxsiblue/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-144" title="crxsiblue" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/crxsiblue.jpg" alt="1990 CRX Si specifications" width="334" height="151" /></a></div>
<div>From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, Japanese automobile and motorcycle manufacturer Honda sold a compact sports car called the CRX. In the United States, it was sold as the CRX Si&#8212;one of the trims of the Honda Civic. The 1990 CRX Si was one of the last model-year iterations ever produced for the vehicle.</div>
<div><strong>Engine, Transmission and Fuel Economy<br />
</strong>The 1990 Honda CRX Si had a 1.6-liter, 108-horsepower inline four-cylinder engine. It had a bore and stroke of 2.99 x 3.46 inches and a compression ratio of 9.5 to 1. The standard transmission was a five-speed manual gearbox, although a four-speed automatic was available.</div>
<div><strong>Performance<br />
</strong>The engine of the 1990 Honda CRX Si produced 108 foot-pounds of torque at 2,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). For its horsepower, the RPM was 4,500. A front-wheel vehicle with rack-and-pinion steering, the &#8217;90 CRX Si had a turning diameter of 30 feet. Regarding fuel economy, it got 28 miles per gallon for city driving and 32 mpg for highway driving with its 12-gallon gas tank. The &#8217;90 CRX Si could go from 0 to 60 mph within eight seconds.</div>
<div> <br />
<strong>Interior<br />
</strong>The 1990 Honda CRX Si was designed as a two-seater. Headroom was measured at 37 inches, legroom at 41 inches, shoulder room at 54 inches and hip room at 55 inches. Tilt steering wheel and sunroof were some of the standard interior features of this small sports car.</div>
<div><strong>Exterior</strong><br />
A two-door vehicle, the 1990 Honda CRX Si was 149 inches long, 66 inches wide and 50 inches high with a 91-inch wheelbase. The curb weight was 2,174 pounds, and it had 14-inch steel wheels.</div>
<div> <br />
<strong>Price<br />
</strong>When Honda released the 1990 CRX Si, its manufacturer&#8217;s suggested retail price was $11,130. Apart from the EX trim of the sedan, the CRX Si was the most expensive of the Civic trims. As of 2010, Kelley Blue Book estimates its price value range at around $2,200 to $2,600.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This part is a positioned in a very tight spot. We are going to attempt to &#8220;cheat&#8221; it out instead of drop the axle which is the by-the-book procedure.</p>
<p>The part # is 14825. The cost is $85.00 with a 50.00 core charge. the core charge is returned to you if you take the old alternator back to the place you purchased the alternator. This  is a re-manufactured part.  Your battery light on your  dash will light up if the alternator is not making enough  power.</p>
<p>Be sure to wear <a title="Latex Gloves" href="http://latexgloves23.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Latex glove </a>or something because alternators build up a fine black dust over time that is very greasy and messy/</p>

		<description><![CDATA[how-to change the transmission oil on a 1990 honda CRX Si]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is really easy task. You will need 2 qt. of engine oil (yes, for manual transmission on CRX Si 1990 engine oil is used, NOT the gear oil !!! use chart here to select the grade according to your climate conditions, manual pump the same as used in soap dispensers, couple ramps, wrench 17 mm and 1/4&#8242; ratchet.<br />
Total work time is about 20 minutes. I used Synthetic in mine and it eliminated a small 2nd gear grind</p>
<div id="attachment_57" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-57" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/manual-transmission-oil-change/attachment/1/"><img class="size-full wp-image-57" title="put the 1990 crx si on jack stands or ramps in the front" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/1.jpg" alt="put the 1990 crx si on jack stands or ramps in the front" width="600" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">to change the tranmisson oil its the first step</p></div>
<p>Put your car on a ramps First put your car on your ramps and secure it with parking brake and a couple of bricks behind the rear wheels to make sure it stays with you through the whole process.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-58" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/manual-transmission-oil-change/attachment/2/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58" title="2" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/2-e1284842242483.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>1/4 inch drive ratchet to remove the drain plug Use 1/4 inch drive ratchet to remove transmission drain plug that is located at the lowest part of it on the right side. It may require some extra force so be careful not to hurt yourself when it&#8217;ll give up.<br />
When plug is removed &#8211; clean it up and remove all the metal particles that may be magnetized to it.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-59" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/manual-transmission-oil-change/attachment/3/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59" title="step 3" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/3.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>Drain the oil from your transmission Drain the oil from your transmission completely. It&#8217;s a good idea to drive the car before performing the oil change so oil will drain faster and all the suspended particles with it.<br />
Replace the drain plug and tighten it with the ratchet.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-61" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/manual-transmission-oil-change/attachment/5/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61" title="5" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/5.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="724" /></a></p>
<p>Removing the fill up oil plug Now comes the fun part! Fill up plug has tendency to be too tight and 17 mm wrench may slip. Try using a 6-point wrench to untie the plug. Be very careful as it may slip. Wear protective gloves to avoid injury.<br />
When plug is removed &#8211; clean it up and remove all the metal particles that may be magnetized to it.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-63" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/manual-transmission-oil-change/attachment/7/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63" title="7" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/7.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="492" /></a></p>
<p>Slip the pump hose from the top Slip the pump hose from under the hood to the filling hole in the transmission. I prefer to work from the top that&#8217;s the reason I used this pump, not the one mechanics use to pump oil into transmission from the bottom.<br />
Let the hose a couple extra inches to get under the car.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-64" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/manual-transmission-oil-change/7_sm/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-64" title="7_sm" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/7_sm.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="98" /></a></p>
<p>Let the hose hang under the car Stick the hose into transmission filling hole Go underneath the car and stick the hose into transmission filling hole. 1/2-inch hose would do the job. You can safely move the hose into transmission until it reaches the deepest point. Go back under the hood.</p>
<p>Start pumping fresh oil Start pumping fresh oil into transmission. It&#8217;ll take ~1.9 quarts of it. When transmission is full &#8211; you will see excess oil dripping off the filling hole. Stop pumping, remove the hose and replace the plug.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re done!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[add CD changer controls to use any mp3/IPOD]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Using a small list of parts, you can update the stereo in your CRX to sound great and look 100% original. Additionally since you can add a deck with CD changer controls you can aso have  iPod/mp3/wma support (through the CD changer port). Very clean.</p>
<div id="attachment_41" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 650px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-41" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/update-your-stereo-the-clean-and-correct-way/p1000471-2/"><img class="size-full wp-image-41" title="Upgraded deck in 1990 CRX si" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P10004711.jpg" alt="Honda part # 39100-S84-A41RM." width="640" height="480" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">UPGRADE</p></div>
<p>List of parts needed:</p>
<p>(Note: this install guide assumes you have the factory plug for the stock radio intact)</p>
<p><strong>New deck</strong> (I used Honda part #  39100-S84-A41RM &#8211; I found this used and it fits perfect) this deck matches the CRX interior really well, says HONDA on it and has CD changer controls. There are a plethora of other Honda decks out there, and as long as it is not a funky shape, you could make it work with this simple method. Although I used a single DIN unit you could use a double DIN if you desired by eliminating the tray below.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-43" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/update-your-stereo-the-clean-and-correct-way/p1000476/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-43" title="P1000476" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P1000476.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></a></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-45" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/update-your-stereo-the-clean-and-correct-way/p1000477-2/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-45" title="P1000477" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P10004771.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Wiring harnesses</strong> You will need two harnesses/plugs.  One is to plug into your factory wiring harness. For the 1990 CRX use this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KL10I0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=glovegeekspro-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000KL10I0">Stereo Wire Harness Honda CRX 88 89 90 91 (car radio wiring installation parts)</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=glovegeekspro-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000KL10I0" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. You can also get this at your local checker/auto zone. The second harness you need is the one that plugs into the factory deck you are using. Example: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KL6PTE?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=glovegeekspro-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000KL6PTE">Stereo Wire Harness OEM Honda Civic 99 00 1999 2000 (car radio wiring installation parts)</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=glovegeekspro-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000KL6PTE" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. To summarize you will need a harness to install an aftermarket stereo and the Factory / Oem / Stock &#8211; Reverse Wire Harness for the deck you are using. This peice can also be clipped out of a junkyard car, thats what I did.</p>
<p>Take the 2 harnesses and wire them together. Match wire for wire, function for function. Matching the colors is pretty much all you need to do but use this as a reference: http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/HA-Wiring.pdf</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-42" href="http://www.1990crxsi.com/update-your-stereo-the-clean-and-correct-way/p1000473/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-42" title="P1000473" src="http://www.1990crxsi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P1000473.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></a></p>
<p>There may be some wires left over after the grafting.  Features that are not on the CRX (power antenna etc) are supported by the new deck and not the car, these can be left disconnected.</p>
<p>Now, simply take the harness you made and plug-and-play. Plug one end the harness into your factory wiring and the other into your new stereo. Congratulations, welcome to whatever year your new deck is!</p>
<p>And if you used a deck with CD changer controls, you can run one of these accessories:<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IZABU6?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=glovegeekspro-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000IZABU6"> Direct Audio Input From iPod Dock Connector to Honda 1998-2004 Radio w/CD Changer Input</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=glovegeekspro-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000IZABU6" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.</p>
